2. Forced Baths and Patients rights

   Hausfrau replied to Health-Nut's topic in General Nursing

   My only experience with this as a CNA is in the Dementia/Alzheimer unit. Often a pt with Dementia will refuse baths and it would take sometimes the entire CNA staff playing good cop bad cop to get them to agree to one. There is a point, when a pt is...

   How does the apollo loan repayment work? I am familiar with the FAFSA type loans but not with private school loans. Like how much do you have to repay each month and how long do you have to pay it back?

6. Any CNAs do Phlebotomy?

   Hausfrau posted a topic in CNA/MA

   I got accepted into a Phlebotomy program this year and it's only going to cost me a few hundred dollars. It was kind of competitive through a community college. Real excited I got in. I am thinking it might help me get a Patient Tech job in the hospi...

7. How much cleaning should a CNA do?

   Hausfrau posted a topic in CNA/MA

   In homehealth usually there is housework in the job description. Some of my patients don't need housework as they hire a cleaning service, but other times I have patients who rely on me heavily for all their cleaning... and the latter leaves me a bit...

   Hausfrau posted a topic in Arizona

   How much "easier".. and by easier I mean, less Essays is taking Bio 156/181 in person rather than Rio? I took 156 at Rio Salado and was over whelmed by essays.. I couldn't keep up with the mandatory essays plus the essays you should do incase they po...

12. Home Care Travel Dilemma

    Hausfrau replied to Scarlett9705's topic in CNA/MA

    With my agency they tell me where the location is and if I am interested. They know that their CNAs also work for other agencies so our schedules could already be filled, etc So it's not a big deal if you turn it down. I was offered like 5 or 6 cases...

    Hausfrau posted a topic in CNA/MA

    Ok so I am not working full-time or anything but I pick up a few homecare shifts a week as a CNA. It's obviously so much nicer then LTC or Acute care. I actually don't dread going into work and when my shift is over I say "that's it?". Just nice bec...
